Kampala, October 16, 2025 – NCBA Bank has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting visionary financial leadership in Uganda, pledging continued backing for the annual Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Awards and advancing the country’s drive toward sustainable growth and innovation.

Speaking at the 2025 ACCA–Deloitte CFO Awards in Kampala, NCBA Chief Executive Officer Mark Muyobo commended the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Uganda and Deloitte for their ongoing partnership in organizing the event, which since 2017 has become the country’s premier platform for recognizing financial leaders who are transforming Uganda’s economic landscape.

“These awards have championed the critical role of finance professionals by recognizing those who propel strategic decision-making, financial stewardship, and sustainable growth within their organizations,” Muyobo said, noting that NCBA is proud to stand alongside the men and women shaping Uganda’s financial future.

This year’s theme, “CFO Vision: Creating Impact and Legacy,” highlighted the evolution of the CFO role from traditional number-crunchers to strategic value creators and innovation catalysts.

“For too long, the CFO was seen merely as the keeper of the ledger. However, today, that role has fundamentally shifted. The modern CFO is the CEO’s co-pilot, the driver of digital transformation and the conscience of sustainable long-term strategy,” Muyobo remarked.

He urged finance leaders to measure success beyond quarterly profits, focusing instead on building resilient organizations, nurturing talent, and embedding innovation that ensures growth across generations.

“Your impact is measured not only by profit margins but by the jobs you create, the efficiency you instill, and the market share you defend,” he emphasized.

Highlighting the bank’s alignment with the evolving finance landscape, Muyobo positioned NCBA as the key strategic partner for corporate leaders seeking to accelerate growth and sustainability through future-ready solutions.

He reiterated NCBA’s commitment to supporting corporate leaders with regional scale and future-ready solutions, positioning the bank as the ideal banking partner to help clients achieve their strategic ambitions.

“At NCBA, we understand that for organizations to deliver on their strategic mandate, they need a banking partner with regional scale and future-ready solutions. Whatever your aspiration, NCBA is that bank that will help you to Go For It,” he stated.

Among NCBA’s flagship offerings is Asset Financing, where the bank provides up to 100% financing for equipment, machinery, and commercial vehicles, using the asset itself as collateral. The bank’s Working Capital and Trade Finance solutions empower importers, manufacturers, and service providers to remain competitive in domestic and regional markets.

Through Treasury and Cash Management Solutions, NCBA provides finance teams with tools for efficient liquidity management, real-time visibility, and seamless control. The bank is also pioneering Sustainable Finance and Green Lending, supporting investments in renewable energy, climate-resilient projects, and environmentally responsible enterprises.

Additionally, NCBA’s relationship management and Advisory services extend beyond traditional banking , offering CFOs strategic insights, market intelligence, and expert financial guidance to build long-term organizational value.

Emphasizing the need for responsible business leadership, Muyobo called on finance professionals to view legacy not merely through the balance sheet but through their contributions to society and the environment.

“True success is found at the intersection of profitability and sustainability. At NCBA, we are committed to ensuring that the financial legacy we help you build thrives within a healthy, vibrant society,” he said.
